[net.columbia] Purging corrosive propelants at alternate landing sites

some one mentioned that the OMS produces rather light thrust (few hundred lbs).
Since this is the only fuel left on-board why not turn the shuttle 'round w/ 
a tractor and then taxi about untill all fuel is gone??   it might be hard on 
the OMS motors but safer in the long run.
